The Realm of the Sky was one of the two realms that the Sky Taihuang Sect was in control. The other realm was called the Realm of Taihuang, hidden deeper in the Heavens and Earth. Only Supreme Elders and core disciples were allowed to enter.
Even a Peerless Ruler with an outstanding eye-technique could only see the Realm of Taihuang. They were unable to see the Realm of Taihuang.
However, there was another saying in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm. The Sky Taihuang Sect actually had a third realm that contained a shocking secret. Only the Patriarch and the Nine Heavens Supremes were allowed to go inside.
No one knew if the piece of information was reliable.
“Brother Nan, the Realm of the Sky had three Blessed Immortal Lands, they are the Fire and Ice Immortal Mountain, the Eight-Worded Mystical Lake, and the Bright Ancient City. As for the Sky Immortal Mountain you’re heading to, it’s…”
Qiu Hong spoke frankly after they arrived at the Realm of the Sky.
Qin Nan’s eyes flickered with astonishment as he listened to Qiu Hong while observing his surroundings.
Every place he could see was shrouded by immortal auras and brilliant light. The ancient palaces and the magnificent cities stood firmly. The immortal mountains, oceans, and the Blessed Immortal Lands were uncountable. They seemed to have no end.
Even though most factions were constructed in the small realms under their control, it was his first time seeing the whole place fully built up.
For example, the Anti-Heaven Palace was also located inside the Seven Luminaries Flying Sword, but it only had around a hundred palaces that occupied an area with a circ.u.mference of a few tens of thousand li.
“If the Realm of the Sky is already so remarkable, how is it going to look like in the Realm of Taihuang? So this is what a Supreme Daoism looks like, their strength and resourcefulness are indeed immeasurable.”
Qin Nan exclaimed in his heart. He finally understood why even a Peerless Ruler was as insignificant as a little ant in a Supreme Daoism faction.
They eventually arrived at the Sky Immortal Mountain.
The mountain was refined by a Nine Heavens Supreme thousands of years ago. It had remarkable capabilities and an endless supply of immortal force. Even the presence of Heaven Immortals was utterly minuscule before it.
In addition to it, the mountain actually played a more important role than the three Blessed Immortal Land in the Realm of the Sky. As such, the mountain was used as the venue for the Battle of the Strongest Immortal.
The people of the Supreme Daoism factions, Peerless Rulers, and the candidates taking part in the battle were arranged to stay at the base of the mountain and the mountain waist for the time being.
“So that’s Qin Nan?”
“Humph! He doesn’t look that impressive.”
Qin Nan and his crew’s arrival had gathered some attention. The people quickly inspected them with their Divine Sense and discussed among themselves.
Qin Nan did not bother with the social niceties. He informed the three Peerless Rulers, Qiu Hong, Xu Xianzhi, and the others and proceeded to his a.s.signed palace.
The palace he was staying in was no ordinary palace too. It was enchanted with hundreds of immortal formations that significantly thickened the immortal Qi in it. The jade bed was placed with many medicine, immortal wines, and immortal teas.
Qin Nan sat down with his legs crossed. He first activated the Golden Eyes of the Divine G.o.d of Battle to inspect the place. However, when he encountered a strong resistance, he slightly nodded and gave the thought up.
He placed his focus on the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron.
He had only refined the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron roughly. He had yet to learn its secrets and inspect the terrifying beast sealed inside it.
Time gradually pa.s.sed.
The news about Qin Nan being escorted by three Peerless Rulers and twelve authorities of the Supreme Daoism factions soon spread among the cultivators and stirred quite a shock among them.
Many cultivators began to make their way toward the Sky Taihuang Sect to watch the battle.
On a side note, the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect stubbornly set up another bet at the Yunluo Ancient City, and Meng Jiugong was personally in charge of it.
He was unwilling to give up still. He stood his ground against the opinion of the ma.s.ses and raised Qin Nan’s odds to one point five. As such, it immediately attracted many cultivators to bet on him.
Meanwhile, Qin Nan suddenly felt a shudder from his Divine Sense. The Ownerless Heaven Pattern was emitting a blinding glow.
Stones of different colors surfaced from it with Dao intents. It was oddly elegant.
“About time?”
Qin Nan was overjoyed. As he inspected the stones, his heart pounded heavily when he saw the names of the Arts of Dao Seeking.
The General Outline of the True Scriptures of Lifeless Taiyan, the General Outline of the True Scriptures of the Buddhas, the General Outline of the Dao Scriptures of Ten Desires!
The General Outline of the Heaven Illusionary Ancient Scriptures, the General Outline of the Sanqing Mystical Scriptures, the General Outline of Dao Execution, the General Outline of Reincarnation Ma.n.u.script, the General Outline of Sky-Inheriting Inscriptions!
He had obtained the general outlines of nine Arts of Dao Seeking, each one was something that countless cultivators dreamed of getting!
After Qin Nan learned the nine Arts of Dao Seeking, it meant only the Arts of Dao Seeking of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect and the Heaven-Repelling Ancient Sect were left.
If the news about a person that had mastered eleven Arts of Dao Seeking was spread to the public, it would surely be more astonis.h.i.+ng than the news of him defeating forty Peerless Geniuses. Everyone was surely going to hear his name.
“Phew, a day has pa.s.sed. I only have four days left. I will have to pick up my pace and learn as many Arts of Dao Seeking as I can before the battle.”
Qin Nan’s eyes flickered. He gathered his focus and started learning the Battle Dao Immortal Ma.n.u.script, the True Scriptures of Lifeless Taiyan, the True Scriptures of Buddhas, and the Dao Scriptures of Ten Desires.
His strength had significantly surpa.s.sed the cultivators who had recently ascended. He did not need to practice the Arts of Dao Seeking to become the strongest Immortal.
However, the battle was just too important for him. He could not afford to take the risk. He had to strengthen himself as much as he could before the battle.
That being said, Qin Nan was well aware that mastering the Battle Dao Immortal Ma.n.u.script was his priority.
Leaving aside the fact that he had received the Battle Dao Immortal Ma.n.u.script from the Divine G.o.d of Battle, he actually had the complete version of it while he only had the general outline of the rest of the Arts of Dao Seeking.
BANG!
A few hours later, when Qin Nan gradually comprehended the four Arts of Dao Seeking, four incredible auras burst out of his body as four different lights pulsated around him.
Strong gusts of wind swept inside the palace resulting in loud explosions. If the formations were not in place, it would surely gather the attention of the authorities.
